2 emulators at the same time
« on: August 16, 2022, 08:02:23 pm »
I've got 2 monitors, 2 control panels, 4 speakers, connected to to 2 individual ports, but 1 computer.

I would love to be able to display 2 different MAME games at the same time and of course be able to play them independently at the same time. Even better run 2 instances of Hyperspin at the same time to allow for different selections.
Would that be possible with some sort of virtual machines, or Windows will always focus on one window that is currently selected?

TIA

You can tell Mame to pipe output to different monitors.

So I'm sure you can run multiple instances, and make
sure there are no controller conflicts.
